What a complete waste of time !!! :( it was supposed the blow a gale so the only real option this time of year is our local puddle - Alton Water - remind me never to go there again - I say that after every time I go !!! I got there at 10:30 and Neil and Lee Hurrell had already rigged 6.2 and 5.8 but because the wind was cross off and we were sheltered by the club house it didn't seem very windy. I wasn't going to bother but Neil talked me into it. I went for 6.4 and the zantos and by the time I had rigged it had started to rain, just to make the day perfect. You had to wobble off the beach and head for the far bank hoping you hit a gust and got planning and trying not to fall in the 2 degree water :( I had a few runs sailing broad put this is a bad direction here and you could only get going in short bursts :( It was raining nicely now and my hands were could so returned to the van - diesel heater on and lunch and then couldn't be bothered to try again so packed up - The point of winter is ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
